James The Life of the Parties 2000 Rowman & Littlefield 8–12 Paperback The Democratic Party swept control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, ending 72 years of Republican dominance of the country that lasted since 1860 and Lincoln's presidency. Democratic New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Republican incumbent president Herbert Hoover in a landslide, with Hoover winning only six Northeastern states. Roosevelt's victory was the first by a Democratic candidate since Woodrow Wilson won re-election in 1916. Roosevelt took his party's nomination on the fourth ballot, defeating 1928 nominee Al Smith and Speaker of the House John Nance Garner. In addition to Hoover's defeat, the Republicans also suffered crushing defeats in both congressional chambers: they lost 101 seats in the House of Representatives, with the Democrats expanding their House majority to a supermajority, and also lost twelve seats in the Senate, with Democrats winning control of the chamber for the first time since 1918.Party Division in the Senate, 1789-Present https://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/history/one_item_and_teasers/partydiv.htm United States Senate 25 June 2014 This would be the last time that an incumbent president lost re-election and his party lost control of both chambers of Congress in a single term until 2020.Enten Harry January 10, 2021 How Trump led Republicans to historic losses https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/10/politics/trump-losses-analysis/index.html CNN February 11, 2021Liasson Mara January 15, 2021 Examining The Fault Lines Of The Republican Party https://www.npr.org/2021/01/15/957141108/examining-the-fault-lines-of-the-republican-party National Public Radio (NPR) February 11, 2021 The election took place after the 1930 United States census and the subsequent congressional re-apportionment.
